Hi Lori!

I haven't been hanging out here as much b/c I'm on the April '04 board now, but I still drop by from time to time.

I don't technically have an edd yet because I haven't had my first prenatal visit, but a couple of different online sites gave me 04/04/04, and I thought it was cool! There's actually a bunch of us on the April board. It must be a lucky day!

How is your sweet furbaby? Give her a big kiss for me, OK? How are things with you otherwise? I hope I see your BFP soon. GL, and I'm sending some 5.5 week (?) baby dust your way.

Leslie

P.S. I couldn't agree more about those saliva testers! LOL. What a ripoff.

Jasmine (a.k.a. furbaby!) is wonderful. Although she's been getting mad at me lately because I don't take her with me on my long walks. I try to explain to her it's because it's way too hot for her and she would never make it, but that doesn't seem to help matters. So I usually end up getting back from my walk and then taking her for a shorter one! DH thinks I'm going to need a new pair of walking shoes every week at the rate I'm going! I'm just trying to get in the habit of walking a lot...it's such a good way to get exercise when pg...and hopefully I'll be pg very soon?! I'm 9DPO now...if I get a BFP I'll be seeing you in the April EC board!

Thanks for the baby dust...hopefully it will stick :-)

If not, we'll still have to keep tabs on each other...I'll swing by the April boards to check up on you :)

Cheers!

Oh, I so hope you make it to the April board. I'm crossing my fingers. Do you have any symptoms one way or the other yet?

Poor Jasmine! She just wants to be with her mommy...:) In any case, all that exercise is going to be great for you.

GL!

I have no idea if I have any symptoms...LOL!!! I'm sure I could dream some up! My chart looks pretty good so far. I have had some BB twinges and some O-like pain in my side, and a little fluttery feeling in my tummy, but I don't know if that's all AF related or pg? My cycles are still getting back to normal, so I don't really know what my pre-AF symptoms are, so it's hard to know what these things mean. Follow?!

Did you have any pg signs? What DPO did you get your BFP?!

PG signs are so hard to tell. DH and I were ttc for five months, and every month I felt something. Even worse, each month it was something different! And some of those previous IPS turned out to be RPS this cycle.

I don't know exactly when I O'd, but I'm guessing it was around CD 14 or 15 because on CD21, there was a tiny spot of pale pink when I wiped and I began to feel twinges in my lower (mostly left) abdomen. That was probably implantation and the start of my symptoms. Soon after, my nipples became tender but not sore. The twinges and the nipple tenderness continued on and off throughout. The twinges felt like they were near the surface of my body and were not at all like AF cramps but felt more like stretching. I also began to feel cramps that felt like AF but much, much less intense -- like I was feeling AF cramps on painkillers or something. I knew they were there, but they didn't hurt.

On CD25, I had to stop partway through my normal run because I was out of breath and felt gross. Since then, I've had a similar experience sometimes but not every time I exercise. On CD26, I briefly tasted metal in my mouth, and I never tasted it again. On CD 31 and 32, I had terrible gas. Then on CD33, I got a BFP.

What else? I had a LOT of weird dreams. I had to pee more and even started waking up in the middle of the night to pee. The veins in my breasts became slightly more visible (now they're a lot more visible LOL). I also had some lower back pain.

Sorry this was so long. I'm not sure which of these were random and which were actual RPS, but I hope this helps!
